We just returned from disney. We drove to Maple Leaf and bought our 5 day hopper plus tickets. Omar wasn't there, we dealt with Patricia. She was very nice. I was a nervous wreck, the tickets worked. I was standing in line at Animal Park wondering if they would go through the ticket booth and they did.
I definately would go to Maple Leaf in the futher. The first day we arrive we went to purchase tickets, near that location were restaurants and a Publix Grocery store, so it was worth the 10 minute trip for us.
